nta but top 16's recent results from 250+ player tournaments have 4th seat at around 11% to 12% WR with 3rd seat scraping a few points higher. The majority of games are won by the first two seats, or even more likely the game draws. Smaller tournaments have slightly more varied results but it's still the same outcome of 1st and 2nd seats are favored to win with 3rd and 4th seats being badly unfavored with draws as most likely outcome.

Werewolves as is are very VERY low B2, borderline b1. They're just a totally mismanaged and poorly designed creature type.

Basically everything went wrong with them, from them becoming totally distinct from wolves despite lots of incidents of transforming creatures totally changing their type (pic related is tiefling druid on the front) or a type being used to cover a whole spectrum of creatures (leonin, tigers, housecats, are all just "cats" but a wereWOLF is not a wolf) - to them being locked into gruul even though their transform mechanics desperately need a way to stop players from casting spells which mostly exists in white so you have to go off theme and run a Naya commander. To say nothing of the fact they're an aggro tribe with a horrible mana curve and extremely weak and unsynergestic creatures.

Given how badly received Daybound/Nightbound was, and that they basically exist in one plane that wotc seems extremely reluctant to revisit, I don't think it's outlandish to say that werewolves are a dead tribe. My friend built a WW tribe and we let him errata all the WWs to be daybound/Nightbound AND we let things like moonmist interact with DB/NB and his deck was STILL weak as hell. And this was 2022/23, it can't keep pace even with a basic unoptimized aggro deck like Dragonstorm Zurgo.

>>
>>97968858
To add injury to insult three of the best rare werewolves in midnight hunt are not even playable in their base Gruul build because they got printed in other colors. The WW deck would run all three of these guys in a heartbeat but it can't because it does not function without Tovolar.
>>
>>97968877
Well of course we'll have some shitty Aetherdrift tier revisiting of Innistrad but that's years and years down the road. MtG might literally die before we ever go back. And even if we did, werewolves wouldn't be getting much, it'd be hyper focused on Vamps and Eldrazi.

Yes, this is a pretty weak card in contemporary magic. The Green player already did it 2 turns ago.

What does your deck look like?
>>
>>97969189
They're comparable to vamps in that regard, since they're a pile of non-synergestic hot garbage with a few notable outliers, and unlike Mardu wurms actually have a pile of ramp options to get their big boys out before the start of the end game even if you discount Green's broken ramp options like FanRhon.

+1 Up to one target creature gets +2/+1 until your next turn
-2 Mill two cards, then you may return a noncreature card from your graveyard to your hand.
-7 You get an emblem with “At the beginning of your end step, create X 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens, where X is four plus the number of creatures you control.

Speaking of wurms: is there any reason at all why hellions are not wurms? Because they look a whole lot like wurms.
>>
Why do aristocrats players get away with combos where other players wouldn't?
Why do aristocrats players in particular never have the self control to run a deck without combos for once? Is the strategy really that shitty without it?

I'm sorry your precon lost at the bracket 3 table anon

>>97969432
they explain it by being more than 2 cards since you need outlet+ repeatable fodder+payoff, the fact that each category has like 10+ options isn't as important

>"At the time of the Grand Creature Type Update, R&D talked about consolidating Hellion into another creature type, but after many days arguing about how to consolidate it, they left it alone."
It seems like there was an internal conflict about this at wotc actually. I would guess that the key difference is that in some of the lore for certain planes wurms are an offshoot race of disgraced dragons while hellions have more insectoid features than draconic ones and a different main alignment of mana.

How does these two work together? Can I grab minion off a grenzo of any power, then pay the life to get a huge guy?

Here's minion's otext
Trample
As this creature enters, pay any amount of life.
Minion of the Wastes’s power and toughness are each equal to the life paid as it entered.

Yes and no. Assuming what he says in the video because I'm not watching it. There is theoretically a lot to learn from playing with other players beyond your immediate circle, because you would be exposed to new playstyles you normally wouldn't be. However, that being said, in my experience the only thing public games will teach you, very repeatedly, is that The One Ring should be banned.

Spreading the word that Rebecca Guay is creating tokens for a limited time. Take that information as you will. If you like her artwork then she has a Kickstarter to pick up a deck of tokens. I don’t care about your opinions on Kickstarter. But I found out by accident and figured I’d let you guys know.

Guys help me realize this deck concept I had yesterday:
Spend the earlygame by creating an archenemy for the table, basically group hug but only for one enemy. Once the archenemy is created you begin to assemble some retarded rube goldberg lockout / combo contraptions while the other two players deal with the archenemy.

On average I'd say it's true, especially in the context of modern magic. Back in the day I got into full-swing playing commander with some pals at college. Everyone had been playing competitive 60-card for years, and one was even a judge.

I was sort of the odd one out. I'd been playing commander with my high school friends before that, but we were all still pretty new and bad. In college I learned the basic concepts of what was good and what wasn't very, very quickly. It was absolutely a trial by fire.

That being said these days when I go to my LGS and contend with the average modern-day idiot player, it makes me appreciate how many years of being a turboshitter I avoided by having a capable group of players to walk me through. Teach me basic concepts of card assessment. Card advantage. Not to be a little fucking bitch when someone plays MLD or combo, and instead to run outs.

But that's an exception to the rule. The average casual player gravitates to the average casual player. Friend groups get into Magic around the same time, and they form deranged opinions about basic aspects of the game uncontested. It's how you have people in current year look at Ur-Dragon or Atraxa and freak out. Or see infect/MLD/board wipes as "unfair" and "unfun."

In their case they really need to go to the LGS and keep playing with strangers until they've disinfected their brains.

BLB was a huge wave of powercreep. More than most other sets.

Holding you back from what exactly? Filling your deck with tutors and draw to make it so consistent that you completely miss the point of a casual format?

I agree that BLB had powercreep, but it wasn't the kind that commander felt; mostly standard.

Genuinely think about how many top-level playables it introduced into most formats that weren't Modern/Legacy (which are busy being raped by MH).
